Porto Alegre (Nos Braços de Calipso)
Adriana Calcanhotto
Porto Alegre (On Calypso's Arms)
Tied up on a mast
Covering the ears
I resisted
The sirens' charm
I didn't hear
The sirens' charm
I resisted
But, arriving at the beach
I didn't do any of that
So I felt
On Calypso's arms
I succumbed
To Calypso's charm
Didn't resist
After that, I didn't have
Any other addiction
If not dancing
To Calypso's rhythm
Because I felt
On Calypso's graces
Didn't resist
To Calypso's charm
I just know how to dance
To Calypso's rhythm
Calypso
Tied up on a mast
Covering the ears
I resisted
The sirens' charm
I didn't hear
The sirens' charm
I resisted
But, arriving at the beach
I didn't do any of that
So I felt
On Calypso's arms
I succumbed
To Calypso's charm
Didn't resist
Since then, didn't have
Any other addiction
If not dancing
To Calypso's rhythm
Because I felt
On Calypso's graces
Didn't resist
To Calypso's charm
I just know how to dance
To Calypso's rhythm
Calypso
